It's season finale time! (Part l)

It's time to catch up and some series finales shows that i have seen lately and that i could not comment on, and i really had to do it. There are many more i want to talk about so i'll be making another post for others shows like 'Dark', 'Everything Sucks', the season finale of 'Love', 'Divorce' or the upcoming 'Grey's Anatomy', but in the meantime here are the ones that i recently watched. It has minor spoilers but you've been warned!


UnReal (Season 3) - The thing with 'UnReal' is that the first season was outstanding, it was such a guilty pleasure that it was hard to live up to that. The second season was fine and now the third one, with a suitress instead of a male suitor, was a nice change for the show's formula, and while it wasn't bad, it was not amazing either. But i adore dark and twisted characters like Quinn and i love watching this mess of a show. Now, the preview of the fourth season was something... beyond.They totally had to change their formula and they did a twist that we didn't expect at all, that was having Rachel as the suitress. And we all know she's going to be a mess, a complete and total mess. And i really can't wait to watch it but we'll have to wait until 2019.




The X Files (Season 11) It's really surprinsing but this season of 'The X Files' has been excellent. Sure it had some boring episodes like the two first eps and the Skinner one, but the rest have been absolutely fantastic. From 'Plus One' or 'Familiar' that echoed the good old seasons, to the 'Black Mirror'-esque 'Rm9sbG93ZXJz', this season made us believe that the show hasn't lost its touch. it hasn't but maybe it's about time that we say goodbye for good to the show and end it on a high note, after all, it seems that Gillian Anderson is not coming back for more seasons. But anyway, whatever happens to the show i have to admit that Mulder and Scully still make my heart skip a beat.



American Crime Story: Versace  I was really looking forward to see what Ryan Murphy had done with the murder case of one of the most important fashion designers in the world, especially when it had Penélope Cruz as Donatella Versace, but the season has been a bit of a let down. Sure the actors are all amazing on the show, from the lead Darren Criss, to Penélope, Edgar Ramirez as Gianni or personal favorites of mine like Michael Nouri or Max Greenfield, the cast is brilliant but the story... not so much. As many others, i expected to see more of the Versace family but instead we got a look at the complete life of the murderer Andrew Cunanan and hence, the disappointment. And it wasn't a bad story but i was looking forward to see a different story.

American Crime Story: The assassination of Gianni Versace

My God this looks good. This looks better than good, it looks amazing. After Ryan Murphy's first season of 'American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson', it was announced that the following season would center on Katrina, and the third one on the murder of designer Gianni Versace, but the second season didn't sound that good. But luckily, Murphy changed his mind and is giving us first the Versace story because it sounds juicy as hell.

When in 1997 Gianni Versace was murdered it shocked not only the fashion industry but also the rest of the world because it was all so shocking. I don't want to dig into the story because i remember little and i don't want to get spoiled in order to watch the series, but sure the story is going to be interesting and by looking at these new and exclusive photos of Entertainment Weekly Magazine, how could you not be excited?

Edgar Ramirez  portrays the iconic designer, while Penélope Cruz plays his sister Donatella and damn she looks great for the part. When Murphy first announced this project, everyone thought he was going to cast Lady Gaga for this role, because she looks so perfect for it, but Penélope simply nails it. Other cast includes Ricky Martin as the designer's lover and Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan and they all look  like beyond amazing casting choices.

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' will air in early 2018 so we'll have to wait a lot to watch it but if it looks this great the wait will be worth. In the meantime enjoy these photos and check out some stills at the source.
